Joomla
Portfolio Component is an open source forum solution for the world
famous content management system, Joomla!. This is an extension for the
Joomla! version 1.5 and above. Its simplicity and ease of use makes this
an attractive portfolio system.

You've worked
on some graphic design projects either for paid work, school
assignments, or on your own. Now you need to showcase your talents so
you can land a job or sell yourself to clients. You need a portfolio...

Why Do I Need a Graphic Design Portfolio?

A portfolio is a
showcase of the talent and creativity that you have to offer to who ever
is looking at it. It needs to show that you are creative, but also
reflect your attention to detail.

How Much Work Do I Show?

The
general tendency for a student is to show as much work as possible.
Just as long as it looks pretty good, right? They think that these
designs are miles ahead of what they could do before they were in the
program, so they include it. This is a huge mistake. I've seen many pfs
watered down and ruined because they chose quantity over quality. Rather
choose 12 strong designs over 12 strong and 12 so so designs. The
employer will remember the 12 average designs the most. Those will stick
in their minds and your chances go down the tubes. You might as well
walk out. (Please don't though. LOL)

What Kind of Graphic Design Portfolio should I Create?

There
are 3 main kinds of graphic design portfolios that students generally
create. One that is printed, one that is online, and one that is on a
DVD or CD.

But which one is the right one to create? How do I
know I'm choosing the right one? The best way to approach this dilemma
is to create all 3. Yup. 3 of them.

You see, some employers want
to touch and feel and interact with printed media, some want to have a
DVD that they can plop into their computer and view, and some don't want
to be bothered with a stack of portfolios, so they prefer a website
where they are one click away.
